COME OUT & JOIN US AT THE 3RD ANNUAL AGILITY TRIAL! |
We are looking for any and all fun-loving, hard-working Club members, their families and friends to help at our Agility Trial. Even if you have never seen an agility trial before we would love to have you come out and volunteer a few hours of your time. We need workers to set bars, fluff the chute, run leashes and score sheets, set-up and tear-down equipment. We are willing to mentor you in any job you are interested in. We had numerous club members who have never done agility volunteer their time last year and they had a blast AND did a fantastic job! It’s a good opportunity to see what agility is all about and help the Club at the same time. You can watch some very talented and entertaining dogs and their handlers. We will also provide you with $5 for lunch if you work a minimum of one hour. Contact anyone of the Agility Trial Committee members-Rita Slepcevich, Cathy Artis, Elaine Mayowski, Sandy Dehoux, Linda Moore and Walter Piroth-if you are able to help out. Thank you!
